Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Percentage increase in price = 5%

Percentage decrease in quantity demanded = 15%

Therefore,

Elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percentage\ change\ in\ price}

Elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{15}{5}

                                           = 3.0

Hence, elasticity of demand facing Billy Bob's Barber Shop is 3.0
